Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
Ruby red colour with purplish highlights, deep and in-
tense. To the nose distinct scents of black fruits such as blackberries and blueberries, notes of ink and graphite, balsamic sensations. The mouthfeel is round and full, balanced with a long and persistent finish.
The tannins are soft and well integrated. This wine enchants us with its elegance and pleasantness.
Vineyard Notes
Soil type: Medium texture, clay and sand based, with high presence of calcium and limestone
Production Notes
Once the fermentation process is completed, we transfered its half into 25 hl oak barrels, where it maintained for 18th months, while the remaining half continous the refinement in stainless steel tanks.
Winemaker Notes
essanta means ‘sixty’ in Italian and was born in occasion of the celebration of the sixtieth years birthday of the founder of Tenuta Casteani, Mario Pelosi. Sessanta is the most evocative wine of this land offering the peculiarity and tradition of Tuscan Maremma that recalls our tradition and history. The wine is made out of two native grapes from this terroir: Sangiovese and Alicante Bouchet. We blended these grapes creating a modern wine, still very much anchored to this land.
Food & Wine Pairing
Pairs with cured meats, roasts, red meat and game.
